Even for HRT it's time to think about the Malaysian GP

After skipping the Australian Grand Prix, HRT preparing for the race in Malaysia. Peter of the Rose sets the objectives that the Iberian team must aim for.“Our priorities ahead of Malaysia must be DRS and improved power steering. This is what we have to think about in this little time we have despite being far from Europe – he declares –. In Australia we were only able to complete 7 timed laps. We need more time on the track to get to know the car better and improve the set-up. If we can do this then we could sustain a good run. Sepang is probably the toughest track of the year for both the car and the driver. Mechanically it is very demanding because as well as featuring many high-speed corners consecutively, it is very hot and humid. Cooling is as essential for the car as hydration is for the driver".

Narain karthikeyan instead, try to analyze the weekend just ended. “It hasn't been an easy weekend for us, but the team is working hard and we hope to complete the maximum number of kilometers with the new car so that we can be in the right conditions for both qualifying and the race. - he claims -. The team is working to resolve the reliability issues we encountered, so I'm confident: things will be better in Malaysia.".

“Sepang is a circuit that I really like and a place where I have raced many times - goes on -. This was the only Grand Prix of the eight I attended last year that I didn't finish, so this year I want to do well in qualifying and finish the race. This will be my main goal”, he concludes.
